Description
Don Budge (June 13, 1915 - January 26, 2000) is most famous as the first tennis player male or female, & still the only American male to win the Grand Slam, & to win all four Grand Slam events consecutively overall. Budge was the second man to complete the career Grand Slam after Fred Perry, & remains the youngest to achieve the feat. He won ten majors, of which six were Grand Slam events (consecutively, a men's record) & four Pro Slams, the latter achieved on three different surfaces. Budge is considered to have one of the best backhands in the history of tennis, with most observers rating it better than that of later player Ken Rosewall. Budge is also the only man to have achieved the Triple Crown (winning singles, men's doubles & mixed doubles at the same tournament) on three separate occasions (Wimbledon in 1937 & 1938, & the US Championships in 1938), & the only man to have achieved it twice in one year. Budge was the world Number 1 amateur in 1937 & 1938 & world Number 1 professional in 1939, 1940 & 1942.
